BACKGROUND Torsion of an intra-abdominal lipoma is rarely the cause of acute abdominal pain. Most of the previously reported cases of intra-abdominal lipoma torsion originated in the mesentery or omentum. However, an antimesenteric lipoma of the ileum with torsion has not been reported before. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Contras...

Clear cell hydroadenocarcinoma is a very rare sweat gland tumor. It has an aggressive course and high recurrence rate. Wide excision the first option in treatment of this tumor with rate metastasis. Subsequent radiotherapy chemotherapy are still controversial. In case, we presented patient who was operated on lipoma-like appearance scalp. The pathology result hidradenocarcinoma. We emphasized t...

We report what may be the first case of lipoma of the corpus callosum associated with a distal anterior cerebral artery saccular aneurysm. The pathogenetic correlation between the callosal lipoma and the distal anterior cerebral artery saccular aneurysm is discussed.

During the study on endophytic fungi of stone fruits including apricot, peach and nectarine in W Azarbaijan (NW Iran), a large number of isolates with Alternaria characteristics were isolated from different parts of these plants and studied taxonomically. Isolation was made based on endophytic fungal isolation method and following surface sterilization procedure. From 100 different plant sample...

Lipomas are usually encapsulated benign tumors with slow growth (that begins in adipocytes. They occur mostly in adults, regardless of race or sex, with a slight female predominance in some studies. Lipoma is called giant lipoma when the resection specimen is greater than five centimeters. Cervical-dorsal cord lipoma are rare. We report the case of a 40-year old patient, presenting with cervica...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pericallosal lipomas are rare tumors. Few reports have included their imaging characteristics. Furthermore, little is known about their evolutive course. Our purpose was to describe the imaging features of seven cases of pericallosal lipoma diagnosed in utero and followed up after birth. METHODS We reviewed seven cases of pericallosal lipoma diagnosed by obstetric sonog...

BACKGROUND Well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL)/atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) is considered a low-grade malignancy that rarely metastasizes but should be carefully followed because recurrence or dedifferentiation may occur. It is recognized that WDL and ALT are essentially synonymous, describing lesions that are identical both morphologically and karyotypically, and that site-specific variat...

INTRODUCTION Intraosseous lipoma is a rare benign bone disease. Long and cancellous bones are the most locationsthat can be affected. Almost all lesions were discovered incidentally on imaging modalities that were done during an unrelated investigation. As it is rare, it may be mistaken for nonossifying fibroma, aneurismal bone cyst, simple bone cyst, bone infarct or chondroid tumors. Recently ...

BACKGROUND Lipomas are benign neoplasms arising from adipose tissue. Oral lipomas have been reported in the buccal mucosa, tongue, floor of the mouth and lips; however, the case of a lipoma occurring as an antecedent lesion to recurrent sialadenitis is hitherto unreported in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an intraoral lipoma occurring with signs and symptoms o...
